cutseq |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
This simple editing program allows you to cut out a region from your sequence by specifying the begin and end positions of the region to remove. It removes the sequence from the specified start to the end positions (inclusive) and writes the remaining sequence to the output file.
To remove bases 10 to 12 from a database entry and write to the new sequence file 'gatta2.seq':
% cutseq tembl:x13776 gatta2.seq -from=10 -to=12 Removes a section from a sequence |
Go to the input files for this example
Go to the output files for this example
Example 2
To remove the first 20 bases from 'tembl:x13776' and write it to 'jsh.seq':
% cutseq tembl:x13776 -from=1 -to=20 -out=jsh.seq Removes a section from a sequence |
Go to the output files for this example
Example 3
If the default start and end positions are accepted, then all of the sequence is removed!
% cutseq tembl:x13776 starta.seq -sbeg=-1000 -send=1290 Removes a section from a sequence Start of region to delete [1168]: End of region to delete [1290]: |

The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').
Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl
Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.
The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em), genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw), dasgff and debug.
